Face Down Songtext
von Wild Horses

Fire escapes and flashing lights
Police raids and fistfights
Just like it was ten years ago
Elvis Presley on the radio
Peroxide blondes in nice blue jeans
Stiletto heels, just seventeen
′Cos two would dance and meet a boy
Falls in love with Foxy Roy, what a boy

Those fifteen suits, all custom made
Knows all the tunes in the hit parade
Made his money in the retail trade
No one around him put him in the shade
He's down to Brighton for the weekend
[?] a convoy and cavalcade
Takes his Jenny for a pillion ride
Ends up in hospital with broken pride


Face down
No sound
Knows what it′s all about
Face down
Hard ground
He's got his work cut out
Over and over and over again

(Solo)

Fire escapes and flashing lights
Police raids and fistfights
Just like it was ten years ago
Elvis Presley on the radio

Ten years later he's a different man
He married Jenny, got his family planned
His big excitement now′s a pint or two
Still he remembers just like me and you


Face down
No sound
Knows what it′s all about
He's face down
Hard ground
He′s got his work cut out
Face down
No sound
Knows what it's all about
He′s face down
Hard ground
He's got his work cut out
Over and over and over and over again
